JRCT is a responsive grant-making trust seeking to fund radical and imaginative solutions to address the root causes of conflict and injustice. We encourage work that has clear objectives and can explain how it will make a difference. We fund under five priority areas:

Funding root causes

While trustees are open to funding a range of different organisations and approaches, the Trust generally funds work that is about addressing the root causes of problems rather than delivering services or alleviating immediate needs. We recognise that change can take many years to achieve. We are willing to take the long view, and to take risks.

Next steps

If you are considering making an application, please read the grant programme information carefully, note our eligibility page, our application deadline dates and then follow the instructions in the application process section.
